Find AA, NA & Al-Anon Meetings: Online and in New York City

Whether you're looking for your first meeting, a meeting while you're traveling, or one you can join from home, the most accurate and up-to-date listings come straight from each fellowship. This page points you to those official directories. Meeting times change often, so we don't copy schedules here.

Which fellowship is right for me?

• Alcoholics Anonymous (AA): for anyone who wants to stop drinking. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
• Narcotics Anonymous (NA): for anyone who wants to stop using drugs of any kind. Alcohol counts as a drug in NA, and members talk about "clean time."
• Al-Anon Family Groups: for family members and friends affected by someone else's drinking. Alateen is part of Al-Anon and is for younger members.
• Nar-Anon Family Groups: for family members and friends affected by someone else's drug use.

Open or closed? Open meetings welcome anyone, including family members and the curious. Closed meetings are for people who want help with their own drinking or drug use. Meeting listings say which kind each meeting is.

• You don't have to speak. You can simply listen.
• If one meeting doesn't feel right, try another. Every group has its own style.
• Many groups have newcomer literature and welcome questions after the meeting.

If you need help right now

If you or someone you love is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For a medical emergency, call 911. Meetings are peer support; they do not replace medical or mental-health care.
